CHAPTER 1. Introduction
1.1 Introduction
The MB-X63 Series is a Duel Pentium III ATX Mainboard specifically designed for Socket 370
with VGA, two 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports. With VIA 694X/686B chipsets, MB-X63 Series
supports Ultra DMA-33/66/100 for faster hard drive transmission speeds and contains health
monitoring hardware. The health monitoring IC keeps an eye on the CPU temperature and the
cooling fans. For boosting operation, this motivated card also supports sockets for a Flash Disk
and four DIMMs.
Other on-board features include two serial ports (RS-232 and RS-232/422/485), one
multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, a floppy drive controller, a keyboard interface and a
PS/2 mouse interface. The built-in high speed PCI IDE controller supports both PIO and bus
master modes. Supporting up to two floppy disks, this board also can connect up to four IDE
devices, including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives and other IDE devices.
Its 6-layer printed circuit board combined with noise-tolerant and low power consumption CMOS
technology allow the MB-X63 Series to withstand many harsh industrial environments.
MB-X63 Series is a high power & full engine mainboard with an AGP display of resolution up to
1600x1200 at 256 colors. Carefully designed to be a feature-rich mainboard at a reasonable
price, this board elegantly meets industry needs and saves time and money by waiving the
hassle of going through the extra effort and cost of additional I/O cards. Being
standards-compliant, it is proved to be a quality product with high performance and stability in a
long run.
